Robin Hood
It was a fine spring morning
the woods seemed expecting
Robin stirred lazily stretching
turned to Marian tightly her holding
Our pantry is nearly bare
I will go out a hunting
he set off as if on a dare
through undergrowth creeping
Instead of the expected deer
he spied a lady in chains
the sheriffs men did jeer
laughing at her pains
Robin's arrows singing flew
striking down each in turn
softly to his chest her he drew
and soon her trust did earn
Taking her back to base
he left her in Marian's care
searching without nay trace
he decided to find some fare
Returning soon with a plump deer
they speedily had it merrily roasting
Robin quickly polished of a beer
and all made merry celebrating
